“Dire signs for media were everywhere this year,” New York Magazine writes: Hulk Hogan’s lawsuit against Gawker, questions about why more news organizations weren’t paying attention to police shootings, and accusations of being both too far to the right and too far to the left. New York Magazine talked to journalists about the structural problems in journalism and what journalism’s greatest faults are.
